Beyond the Scroll: Restoring Cognitive and Social Engagement through PBL
Teacher Training
Practical ideas. Thoughtful teaching. Real classrooms.
My approach to teacher training is practical, reflective and grounded in classroom experience.
I am particularly interested in what learners are actually doing during a lesson: how much they are thinking, communicating, making decisions and taking responsibility for their learning.
Areas of interest
Learner engagement
Moving beyond visible participation towards meaningful cognitive and social engagement.
Communicative teaching
Creating genuine reasons for learners to use language.
Project-Based Learning
Designing projects with meaningful outcomes, clear expectations and learner accountability.
Differentiation & inclusion
Maintaining high expectations while making learning accessible to different learners.
Project-Based Learning
More than making a poster.
Meaningful project work needs clear outcomes, accountability, language support, feedback and genuine reasons to communicate.
In practice, that has ranged from
- beginners designing and presenting a robot
- summer-school groups working on sustainability and global citizenship
- advanced learners in academic debate and Model United Nations
